QUICK LINKS

Diatomaceous earth functions by creating a safeguarding layer that envelops cells and tissues, effectively shielding them against potential harm from various environmental elements. These encompass ultraviolet light, oxidation, and chemical agents that can otherwise induce damage. Furthermore, Diatomaceous earth possesses the capacity to interact with proteins and other molecules, consequently inducing alterations in their structure and functionality.
